[Wikimetrics] Problem validating a cohort on Wikimetrics

Discussion:

Hello,

I just created a cohort of 44 user names. Wikimetrics has been able to
expand the user names to all projects (532 altogether) but for some reason
only 12 are valid. Any idea what the problem might be?

Probably special characters on your names, commas, invisible characters?

Try to clean up the usernames in a tool that shows you all characters
present.

Thanks,

Nuria

If that doesn't work, please post the file with the names you tried to use.

Here's the cohort of 44 user names. I had a go cleaning it up but couldn't
find any special or invisible characters. There's a least one user name
with punctuation at the end, but it is meant to be there.

Hi Richard,

Thanks for that, it helped us debug. It turns out there's a problem
connecting to the labs databases and it's causing Wikimetrics to error out
while validating most users. We're looking into it and will update the
list once it's fixed.

Ok, Richard, I should've fixed this just now. Please try to do "Validate
Again" for your cohort and if that doesn't work just delete it and add it
again. Let me know if it's still broken.
